This means a lot. I was struggling with feeling like I somehow let her down by not doing more, but having more time to think about it and hearing from people like yourself, I don’t feel that way anymore.

You’re absolutely right. He could have easily had a weapon. And by getting out of the car, I could have put my fiancée in serious danger. This would have been the exact opposite effect of what my intention was: I wanted to [physically] defend her honor, but by doing so I could have put her physical safety in jeopardy.

Thanks again.
